Line 21:
** To answer the first question: Is Geese Howard [[Schrodingers Cat|dead or alive]]? There ya go.
** Luise's profile and storyline in the ''Maximum Impact'' series were written to be deliberately different from one another, most likely to prevent spoilers.
* [[Hey
* [[Hey
** Athena had Reiko Fukai in '''94'', Moe Nagasaki in '''95'', Tamao Satou in '''96'', Yukina Kurisu in '''97'', [[Haruna Ikezawa]] (aka [[Keroro Gunsou|Momoka]]) post-'''98'' (Ikezawa also voices Foxy), Robyn Gryphe in the English localization of ''Maximum Impact'', Lily Kong in the English localization of ''Maximum Impact 2'', and Miwa Gardner in the English localization of ''XII''.
** Rugal's main VA is Toshimitsu Arai, who also voices Heidern. Other VAs are [[Banjo Ginga]] (in the '''94'' Dengeki Bunko drama CD) and [[Norio Wakamoto]] (in ''2002'' only; notable in that this is a rare occasion where the fans preferred the original seiyuu ''over'' Wakamoto).
** Jeff Manning (the announcer of the original ''[[Super Smash Bros (Video Game)|Super Smash Bros]].'' and ''[[Tatsunokovs Capcom (Video Game)|Tatsunoko vs. Capcom]]: [[Updated Rerelease|Ultimate All-Stars]]'') voices Andy, Ralf, and Shen Woo in the English version of ''XII''.
** While Satoshi Hashimoto, the voice of Terry Bogard, [[Classically
** His brother Andy [[Keiichi Nanba|is also]] [[Guilty Gear (Video Game)|Axl Low]], who ironically shares a passing resemblance to Billy Kane.
** Shingo is [[Takehito Koyasu]] [[Guilty Gear (Video Game)|"Eddie"]] [[Takehito Koyasu|Koyasu]] [[Playing Against Type|...]] All of a sudden, the fact that [[Mobile Suit Gundam SEED (Anime)|Mu La Flaga]] [[Catch Phrase|"]][[Memetic Mutation|CAN MAKE THE IMPOSSIBLE, POSSIBLE!]][[Catch Phrase|"]] makes ''perfect'' sense.
Line 86:
*** However, ''KOF [[Bullet Hell|Sky Stage]]'' seems to be using Nonaka instead of Iwata for the voice of Kusanagi, which of course plays this trope straight again.
*** In ''XII'', he shares an Englsh VA (Peter von Gomm) with ''Ash'' of all people.
** King shares her seiyuu (Harumi Ikoma, who also is the announcer in ''KOF '96'', ''KOF '98'', ''KOF XI'', and ''KOF XII'') with Blue Mary. Ikoma also voiced King's brother [[Spell My Name With an "S"|Jean/Jan]] in ''KOF: Kyo''.
** Greg Irwin voices Joe and Robert in the dub of ''XII''.
** Kazuhiro "Kay" Inage (who voiced Robert in ''KOF '94'' and '''95'') also voices Lucky. Mantaro Koichi (who voiced Robert from ''KOF '96'' to ''2003'') was also the announcer in '''97''.
* [[Throw It In]]: Hyena's lines were devised in a collaborative effort between the seiyuu of Hyena, Alba, and Soiree (who consequently became good friends through the experience).
** Krauser Gigatech Cyclone was actually taken from the [[
* [[What Could Have Been]]: Beside the various prototype designs of characters (many of which can be seen as Strikers in ''2000''), many plot points were shafted or altered:
** Orochi Iori was originally planned to be the final boss of '''97'' (remnants of this manifest as Iori being a [[Bonus Boss]] in said game if you beat Orochi with Kyo).
** Kyo and Iori were going to be dropped from '''99'' to put emphasis on K'.
** The biggest "what-if?" would have to come from ''2001''. One could only imagine what direction the series would have took if SNK hadn't gone bankrupt after ''2000''...
** Even better, this series wasn't even originally a [[Fighting Game]]; it was going to be a [[Beat
** Athena's appearance in ''XII'' [http://snk.wikia.com/wiki/File:Athena_rejected_artwork.jpg was originally conceived to be not quite as loli as the final result.]
** Rugal was originally planned to [[Ditto Fighter|mirror special moves of the characters and use them against them]]. Hardware limitations killed this idea. Rugal's Reppuken, Kaiser Wave, and [[Attack Reflector|Dark Barrier]] are relics of this idea.
